DANVERS, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), a leader in advancing copyright, accelerating knowledge, and powering innovation, will present a virtual Town Hall on Tuesday, 15 December at 10:00 EDT/15:00 BST/16:00 CEST, providing an in-depth look at the impact remote work is having on research and development (R&D) organizations.

• Tracy Brower, Principal, Applied Research + Consulting, Steelcase
• Kenneth Getz, Deputy Director & Research Professor, Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development (CSDD)
• Ned May, VP Analytic Operations, Outsell, Inc.

Questions for panelists participating in “Where R&D Meets WFH” include:

• How is the pace of research changing in different fields and practice areas?
• How have organizations found creative ways to maintain collaboration?
• How are researchers managing to share data and discoveries that will drive further innovation, despite working remotely?
